From Today Onwards, You Are My Younger Brother

[Ino Yamanaka: Anko-sis, did you meet Mo Chen?]

[Tenten: That fast?]

[Karin Uzumaki: How did you do it? Why didn't I get it?]

[Anko Mitarashi: I did meet Mo Chen, I just showed him some concern.]

[Anko Mitarashi: I feel like I'm stronger than many Jonin now, this effect is too obvious!]

[Tenten: Its stacking effect is calculated based on your own base stats. The stronger you are, the more powerful the stacked strength becomes.]

[Ino Yamanaka: Just concern? I'm skeptical!]

[Karin Uzumaki: Wuwuwu... I want Buff effects too. Is it because I haven't expressed my feelings for Mo Chen-kun?]

[Anko Mitarashi: Based on how you all got the Buff effects before, it's probably true. Being good to Mo Chen can't just be in your heart, you have to show it, even if you have ulterior motives. This group system seems to judge actions, not intentions!]

[Tenten: I'll have to treat Mo Chen even better from now on. I wonder if I can level up more by being his girlfriend?]

[Ino Yamanaka: Mo Chen belongs to everyone, don't think about monopolizing him!]

[Tenten: Hmph, I didn't say I wanted to monopolize him. I don't mind being one of Mo Chen's many girlfriends, as long as you all accept it, I won't object.]

[Hinata Hyuga: ...]

[Karin Uzumaki: Count me in, I don't mind either.]

[Anko Mitarashi: Oh ho ho ho, you're all too young to handle him, let me do it.]

[Ino Yamanaka: !!!!]

[Tenten: ...]

Anko tightened her grip on Mo Chen and grinned.

What was the point of the lively chat in the group? Mo Chen was in her arms right now, she had the most advantage.

The 200% Buff effect she suddenly received had given Anko a taste of success.

As long as she was good to Mo Chen, she could get stronger buffs and become stronger.

If that was the case, why ask for anything else? She would just praise Mo Chen to the skies!

Anko's personality meant she wouldn't act coy.

If sacrificing herself could lead to greater power, she wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Anko!" Anko took the initiative, saying to Mo Chen, "I see that at your young age, your strength is already considerable, and you are calm and collected when facing problems."

"I'm very interested in young talents like you. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me anytime!"

As she spoke, she stuck out her long tongue and licked Mo Chen's mask.

After all, she was Orochimaru's disciple, and she was somewhat influenced by him.

Mo Chen secretly regretted why he was wearing a mask.

"My name is Mo Chen, and I'm a freshman who just graduated from the Ninja Academy this year!" Mo Chen introduced himself briefly, pretending to be confused. "We haven't met before, have we? Why do you think I'm calm and collected when facing problems and that my strength is not weak?"

Anko chuckled, "Don't underestimate me. I'm a special Jonin of Konoha, and my specialty is reconnaissance."

"After the barrier was broken just now, I could understand many things just by glancing at the combat traces left at the scene. The jutsu you used was Wood Style, right? That's why the Root organization was attracted!"

"Root organization?" Mo Chen asked, acting as if he was hearing about it for the first time. "Are they also from Konoha? What kind of organization are they?"

Anko was silent for a moment. "This is actually a secret of Konoha. Not everyone knows about it, and those who do don't know much. Even I only know a little more than the average person."

"Normally, at your age, I shouldn't be telling you this. But since we've met, I'll tell you, so you don't get ambushed later."

The reason Anko knew a bit more about the Root organization than others was simply because her teacher, Orochimaru, was Danzou's confidant, and she had overheard some things through him.

However, by this point, Anko had already brought Mo Chen to the Konoha Hospital, so she didn't continue.

After settling everything, Anko breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you just expended a lot of energy and aren't injured. You'll be fine after some rest."

Mo Chen's weakness was an act. With the immense vitality of Wood Style, it was hard for him to get injured.

He didn't have Hashirama's ability to heal automatically without hand seals, but as long as he stimulated the wound with Wood Release chakra, he could accelerate cell regeneration and achieve rapid wound healing.

As for faking weakness, as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. He was doing this to force the Third Hokage's hand.

Even if he didn't openly break ties with Danzou, at least on the issue of him, the Third Hokage would be much tougher.

"Thank you, Anko-sis!" Mo Chen said gratefully. "I've been an orphan since I was young, and I've never had anyone to care about me. Few people have gone out of their way for me."

"Ahaha, you saying that makes me a little embarrassed. I didn't help much either!" The straightforward Anko couldn't handle the atmosphere and looked a bit awkward.

But soon, her eyes lit up.

An orphan since childhood? Lacking people to care about him?

Isn't this perfect!

"I've decided!" Anko suddenly clapped her hands, her face filled with excitement. "From today onwards, you are my little brother, my own brother!"

Once their sibling relationship was established, she could openly approach Mo Chen in the future. Even if she was exceptionally good to him, it wouldn't arouse suspicion, and Mo Chen probably wouldn't resist!

Anko, you're a genius!

"This... isn't quite right, is it?" Mo Chen knew exactly what Anko was planning, but he didn't really mind.

Whether they were actual siblings or adopted siblings, it didn't matter. He was the one getting the advantage anyway.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's settled then!" Anko declared decisively. Then, before Mo Chen could react, she snatched off his Anbu mask.

"Oh my, what a handsome young man! Sister here is the one who hit the jackpot!" Anko said with a grin. "Now that I know your true identity, if you refuse, I'll have broken the rules and will be punished!"

"Little Mo Chen, you don't want your sister to be punished by the Third Lord for this, do you?"

Anko smiled sweetly, her gaze threatening Mo Chen like a death stare.

Mo Chen shivered, thinking he couldn't take it.

Anko-sis, the way you talk like this can easily lead to misunderstandings!

Speaking of which, the Mo Chen of the past was practically invisible in class. His looks were just average.

However, he used his ability to fabricate the future, and after mastering Wood Style, he refined his aura and corrected his appearance.

He was still mostly the same, but he looked like he'd had a beauty filter applied.

Because of this, during his second sparring match with Tenten on the training grounds, Tenten blushed again and ran away embarrassed.

The specific details of that moment wouldn't be mentioned; after all, not many people were interested.

"Little Mo Chen, Little Mo Chen!" Anko nudged Mo Chen, waving her hand in front of his eyes. "What are you thinking about? You just zoned out! If you don't agree, I'll have to use force!"

Seeing the mischievous grin on Anko's face, Mo Chen found it amusing. He put on a defeated expression and said, "Alright, alright, Anko-sis!"

"Haha, that's a good boy!" Anko gave Mo Chen a firm kiss on the cheek.
